Cape Town – Malesela Teffo, a disbarred advocate who previously represented four accused men in the murder case of Senzo Meyiwa, the slain Bafana Bafana captain, has been arrested.
The arrest was confirmed by the police, who said that Teffo faces charges of fraud, assault, malicious damage to property, and trespassing.
“Police can confirm that a 53-year-old man has been arrested today, August 1, on charges of fraud, assault, malicious damage to property and trespassing. The suspect is expected to appear before the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on August 3,” said police spokesperson, Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi.

He was taken to the Pretoria Central Police Station and is expected to appear before the Pretoria Magistrates court on 3 August 2023.
Teffo was banned from attending the Meyiwa trial earlier, and in September 2022, he was removed from the roll of advocates due to unethical and dishonest practices.
